Anthony Mundine vs. Xavier Tolliver & Sonny Bill Williams vs. Alipate Liava'a RBR

"Would you please put your heads together..."

(still don't know what that means and still not doing that..)

"For ANTHONY MUNDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!"

(no)

 

Oh I get it. His nickname is "The X Man", and when he gets introduced he crosses his arms together like an X.

Rad!!

 

The Man vs. The X Man.


I think that X factor will make the difference here. :hey

 

Round 1

Mundine jabs and jerks away. Tolliver is lunging with jabs to the body and keeping his arms up at the sides of his head, nervously darting in/down and out/up with his low jabs. A few underhand rights to the body as well, not really landing very cleanly. Mundine is landing his jab to the face a bit better than Tolliver is landing his long reaching body shots. Mundine steps forward behind a stiff jab to the face and chops Tolliver with a right hand to the face. Three unanswered jabs to the face by Mundine as Tolliver tries to escape the ropes. Nice jab to the body by Tolliver. Mundine backs off as Tolliver hops toward him with a right hand to the kidney and a left to the body as well. Mundine covers up, then counters as Tolliver looks to follow up. Mundine pushes him back, nearly to the ropes before Tolliver reaches and grazes him with an overhand right.

10-9 AM

 

Round 2

Mundine jabs and rolls his hands around each other. Mundine flops in and jerks out, throwing jabs and chopping rights on his way inside. Tolliver is unable to touch him other than a few taps to the armpit during the brief clinches. Tolliver is covering up as Mundine falls in, and doesn't have the hand speed to counter out of his guard before Mundine jerks back outside. Hard right uppercut by Mundine as they wrestle. Long jab by Mundine. Tolliver backs up and leans his upper body back, away from the jab, looking to slingshot back with his own jab. Tolliver just a bit too slow to pull it off. More wrestling and another good uppercut by Mundine. Tolliver partially lands a right hand, over-extending a bit. Mundine throws a lead right but hits arm as Tolliver parries him off.

20-18 Mundine

 

Round 3

Tolliver is circling quickly and feinting with his jab, drawing Mundine in. Counter right hand hammering over the top by Tolliver. Mundine stands, watches, and poses as Tolliver shimmies at range, nearly backed to a corner. Mundine is grabbed and throws an uppercut to the body to get free. Mundine is flipping up backhand jabs from the hip. Right hand now. Tolliver did get a left hook in there that seemed to dip Mundine's knees a bit, but it wasn't much of an impact really. Mundine slipping some punches and getting inside to land a few, wrestle, and land a few more. Left hook doubled by Mundine. They trade overhand rights while up close, both taking more wrist than knuckle. Tolliver feints with a big right hand and makes Mundine lean all the way back but doesn't press. Mundine lands a jab to the body and falls just a bit short with a right hand, unable to jerk out quickly enough to avoid the counter flurry by Tolliver.

30-27 Mundine

 

Round 4

Mundine is poking through with his jab, toying with Tolliver a bit. HARD 1-2 to the face by Mundine. Tolliver seems to still be clear-headed, peering out from behind his guard and trying to line Mundine up with his own 1-2. Mundine lands again and Tolliver gets shaky-legged and holds on. Lots of wrestling. Tolliver throws a weak right arm punch over Mundine's head. Mundine clubs him with a right hand, just glances. Tolliver holds. Mundine slaps at him with short hooks but can't find a solid shot to get Tolliver back in trouble. Tolliver is actually landing a few of his own counter rights inside now. More wrestling. Stiff jab to the face by Mundine, as Tolliver adopts a Philly shell and shows exactly why slickness is a STYLE and not a skill.

10-9 Mundine

40-36

Round 5

Tolliver is closing in on Mundine, getting countered with jabs but close enough to brush with his own. They throw right hands together and both take involuntary steps back, like a pair of opposite-polarized magnets. Mundine ducks a left hook and takes the inner elbow of Tolliver across the back of the head. They trade and Tolliver is knocked off balance, hopping on one foot across the ring and bouncing off the ropes. More trading, but it isn't very clean as both are trying to slip shots as they're throwing their own...leading to a lot of snared arms and punched shoulders (or cuffing shots behind the head). Someone's mouthpiece is out. Long pause. Tolliver feints, and is walked to the ropes. Tolliver is feinting almost nonstop. Meanwhile Mundine is ignoring his feints and just steadily jabbing into his face.

50-45

 

The feint is supposed to serve a purpose, Xavier.

Like, get a reaction or set something up.


It isn't something boxers just do to look the part of being a boxer..just FYI..
